Comments

 * "In 1920, after allegedly making death threats against Alexander, he relocated to Vienna, where in 1923, he began writing for a Soviet-linked publication under a pseudonym." A few commas can be removed here: In 1920, after allegedly making death threats against Alexander, he relocated to Vienna where in 1923 he began writing for a Soviet-linked publication."
 * Done.


 * "In 1941, Golubić returned to Yugoslavia on a secret assignment." Is there anything specific about this assignment?
 * Golubić is an enigmatic figure and his activities have been frustratingly under-explored in scholarly literature. Somewhat predictably the source doesn't say what the "secret assignment" was, only that it was a secret assignment. Some authors have speculated that it could have had to do with blowing up the German ammunition dump in Smederevo ahead of Operation Barbarossa (this is mentioned in the article) but nothing is known for sure. Unfortunately, Serbia doesn't have its own equivalent of FOIA so perhaps we'll never know.


 * "Golubić arrived with a letter of recommendation signed by the academic Jevto Dedijer." Is there relevance to having a letter from Dedijer? I'm not sure I see the connection here.
 * Probably doesn't contribute at all to a reader's understanding of the subject. Removed.


 * "Golubić subsequently traveled to France, where he was arrested and imprisoned in Toulon." What was he arrested for? I'm assuming because of the assassination plot?
 * That would be my guess as well, but the source doesn't explicitly say this.


 * "After being accused of making death threats against Alexander, in late 1920, Golubić left the country and settled in Vienna." This is worded oddly, and can be cleared up: "After being accused of making death threats against Alexander, Golubić left the country in late 1920 and settled in Vienna."
 * Done.


 * "He subsequently survived an assassination attempt..." Any idea who was behind this?
 * My guess would be King Alexander, but the source doesn't say. I'm not aware of any academic sources, English or otherwise, which explore this incident in-depth.


 * "...and only forty of these survived the Gulags." Gulag is singular, as it's an abbreviation.
 * Done.


 * Images and sources look solid. I can't speak for the non-English sources, but based on the publishers of the English works am assuming they are all reputable.

Overall not a lot here, mostly clarifications for myself (I'm not too familiar with the subject), so once these are addressed will pass the article. Kaiser matias (talk) 16:57, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
